Do first or even second and third year contests make a profit for charities. How do they market to be profitable.
well, by the responses we were getting from some of the organizers in that other thread and them not wanting us cooks to know what really happens at contests.... I would have to say yes.... Some for sure do...

Are they not supose too.
It seems in the packet from the KCBS that there is little if any Blue sky for the Organization that the event is held for. We are thinking of holding an event at our Eagles club. Each year we have our annual Eagles Cancer telethon. The telethon raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for research and this year is the 55th annual. We would like to have a contest that would make some money for the event.

We don't know what goes on in BOD meetings, we don't know what Organizers meet about (well some of them), and we don't know why a judge gave us a 5 when the rest gave us 9's. Why do I stay in this hobby, I don't know either.. :icon_smil
Ignorace is bliss in BBQ competition i reckon.

When you get right down to it, it's a wonder that these contests are as popular as they are.
Most competitors spend a lot to compete, the winners may break even, the event itself nets little or no money for the organizers, the judges and table captains are volunteers for the most part, and the general public isn't even supposed to sample the 'cue.
The effort is basically for camaraderie, the love of cooking great barbecue, and bragging rights/bling for a few.
